I just got off the phone with 6’7″ heavyweight fighter Brad Imes. You may remember Imes as a runner up in “The Ultimate Fighter” season 2; he lost a close split decision to Rashad Evans and was a hair away from becoming the “The Ultimate Fighter” from season 3.

Imes will be challenging IFL heavyweight champion Roy “Big Country” Nelson, and his making his debut in the International Fight League this Friday night at Mohegan Sun. We covered a few topics including his training for the fight, his contract with the IFL, his back to back gogoplata submission victories and much more.
